WILL the policy Of the Legislature, on
questions OF state emigration, remain
unchanged under the present admins
tration. The state has no end OF unoc-
cupied lands, and the settlement OF these
lands would do more to Increase the
prosperity of this state, multiply her ed
vocational resources by adding to her
school funds, enlarge the volume OF her
agricultural products and aid In every
way her development than anything
that could otherwise be suggested.
There is abundant evidence that the
tide OF emigration so long turned into
northwestern channels, is beginning TO
flow southwark. The Legislature Of this
state should not be unmindtul Of the op-
pOrIunities opened In this southern In
f1ux of settlers and should use the means
within their reach to direct IL this way.
Alabama. Arkansas, Georgia, Mississ-
ippi and Louisiana, are all directing at
tention to the advantages offered in
those several states. Agents are sent
northward and immigration bureaus
are organized to facilitate this work OF
filling up the void places OF their states
with honest, thrifty, farmers. The
Texas legislature should take hold OF
this work practically, give every reason
able encouragement to immigration, and
so secure to Texas at least fair share
of the benefits that follow in the wake
OF rapid and vigorous immigration
movements

WHILE the criminal code of this state
is being revised it is 10 order to ask, is
there no way of reversing the verdict of
a court, in the case OF an innocent man
unjustly convicted of crime? At present
the only way is to pardon him. But men
do not want pardon for offenses they
have never committed. They want the
courts to correct the mistakes made by
these same courts, and relieve the inno-
cent from the odium of crimes never
committed by them. 1t is not too much
asked that some way of accomplishing
this be devised.

A Poser for Queen Victoria.
From the London TRUTH

lfrOm the LONDON TRUTH
An Irish lady has petitioned the Queen
under some what peculiar circumstances.
The petitioner had an uncle named AL
exander Ferdinand Petrie, who entered
the army In 1880, serving in the 10Th reg
iment. He sold out in 1911, and died In
1874. at the age of So years. He "wIlled"
all his property, amounting in cash 10
about go 900. to the Queen. His niece,
who was left widow in 1855. with eight
daughters and one son, has ever since
his death been eking out an existence By
the precariUus profession Of keeping a
private school; but this occupation, by
reason of her great age and OF her grow
ing blindness, she has had to relinquish.
Consequently, the prayer of her petition
seeks that her case and that of her
daughters may be equitably entertained
by her majesty, who, more than 30 years
ago, received the whole of her ancestors
estate as bequest. Here is, indeed, a
chance for the Queen to celebrate her
jubilee.

THERE is no question that the present
southern boom Is the direct result of the

migration into all the states that were
distinctively represented in that CEN
tenniaI. Like causes produce like
effects, and II Texas would have her re-
sources known, her industries slim
ulated. her unOccupied lands improved,
and capital flock to her cities seeking in
vestment, she can secure these in marked
degree by following the example of
Philadelphia and New Orleans an put
tin her advantages before the people Of

THE Pennsylvania road hastens to re-

state, lest it should be an infractiOn of
he interstate commerce bill. in case it

interstate commerce bill allows officers
of roads to ride free, and the Pennsyl-

the road.
